<p>The initialization functions in SRP credentials differ between
client and server.
Clients supporting <acronym>SRP</acronym> should set the username and password
prior to connection, to the credentials structure.
Alternatively <a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fsrp_005fset_005fclient_005fcredentials_005ffunction">gnutls_srp_set_client_credentials_function</a>
may be used instead, to specify a callback function that should return the
SRP username and password.
The callback is called once during the <acronym>TLS</acronym> handshake.

</p>
<p>This function can be used to set a callback to retrieve the
username and password for client SRP authentication.  The
callback&rsquo;s function form is:
</p>
<p>int (*callback)(gnutls_session_t, char** username, char**password);
</p>
<p>The  <code>username</code> and  <code>password</code> must be allocated using
<code>gnutls_malloc()</code> .   <code>username</code> and  <code>password</code> should be ASCII strings
or UTF-8 strings prepared using the &quot;SASLprep&quot; profile of
&quot;stringprep&quot;.
</p>
<p>The callback function will be called once per handshake before the
initial hello message is sent.
</p>
<p>The callback should not return a negative error code the second
time called, since the handshake procedure will be aborted.
</p>
<p>The callback function should return 0 on success.
-1 indicates an error.
</p></dd></dl>

<p>In server side the default behavior of <acronym>GnuTLS</acronym> is to read
the usernames and <acronym>SRP</acronym> verifiers from password files. These
password file format is compatible the with the <em>Stanford srp libraries</em>
format.  If a different password file format is to be used, then 
<a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fsrp_005fset_005fserver_005fcredentials_005ffunction">gnutls_srp_set_server_credentials_function</a> should be called,
to set an appropriate callback.

<dt><a name="index-gnutls_005fsrp_005fset_005fserver_005fcredentials_005ffunction"></a>Function: <em>void</em> <strong>gnutls_srp_set_server_credentials_function</strong> <em>(gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t         <var>cred</var>, gnutls_srp_server_credentials_function         * <var>func</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p><var>cred</var>: is a <code>gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t</code>  type.
</p>
<p><var>func</var>: is the callback function
</p>
<p>This function can be used to set a callback to retrieve the user&rsquo;s
SRP credentials.  The callback&rsquo;s function form is:
</p>
<p>int (*callback)(gnutls_session_t, const char* username,
gnutls_datum_t *salt, gnutls_datum_t *verifier, gnutls_datum_t *generator,
gnutls_datum_t *prime);
</p>
<p><code>username</code> contains the actual username.
The  <code>salt</code> ,  <code>verifier</code> ,  <code>generator</code> and  <code>prime</code> must be filled
in using the <code>gnutls_malloc()</code> . For convenience  <code>prime</code> and  <code>generator</code> may also be one of the static parameters defined in gnutls.h.
</p>
<p>Initially, the data field is NULL in every <code>gnutls_datum_t</code> 
structure that the callback has to fill in. When the
callback is done GnuTLS deallocates all of those buffers
which are non-NULL, regardless of the return value.
</p>
<p>In order to prevent attackers from guessing valid usernames,
if a user does not exist, g and n values should be filled in
using a random user&rsquo;s parameters. In that case the callback must
return the special value (1).
See <code>gnutls_srp_set_server_fake_salt_seed</code>  too.
If this is not required for your application, return a negative
number from the callback to abort the handshake.
</p>
<p>The callback function will only be called once per handshake.
The callback function should return 0 on success, while
-1 indicates an error.
